Categories     Chicken     Quick & Easy     Grill/Barbecue

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/2 cup butter (1 stick)
1 clove garlic, crushed
juice from 2 lemons
2 tsp fresh grated ginger
2-4 tbsp assorted fresh herbs chopped (any combination of rosemary, thyme, parsley, sage or any other savory herbs)
2 pounds boneless chicken breasts

Steps:

  • Melt butter. Stir in garlic, lemon juice, ginger and herbs. Allow flavors to meld. Wash chicken and cut or pound into uniform thickness. Add chicken to the melted butter mixture and allow to marinate for 15 minutes. Note, marinade will thicken slightly. Prepare grill (gas or charcoal). Once grill is approximately 400 degrees, place chicken pieces on grill, reserving marinade for basting. Turn after 1-2 minutes, cook again then dip into marinade before continue to cook on the grill. You will cook each side two times. Remove chicken from grill and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken: Use boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs for best results. Bone-in chicken can be used, but it will take longer to cook.
  • Marinate the chicken: Marinating the chicken in a flavorful mixture of herbs, spices, and oil will help to tenderize and flavor the chicken.
  • Preheat the grill: Preheat the grill to medium-high heat before cooking the chicken. This will help to sear the chicken and lock in the juices.
  • Grill the chicken over indirect heat: Once the grill is preheated, move the chicken to an area of the grill with indirect heat. This will help to cook the chicken evenly without burning it.
  • Cook the chicken to the right internal temperature: Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the chicken. Cook the chicken to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit for breasts and 175 degrees Fahrenheit for thighs.

Conclusion:

Grilling chicken is a quick and easy way to cook a delicious and healthy meal. By following these tips, you can grill chicken that is moist, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. Grilled chicken can be served with a variety of sides, such as roasted vegetables, grilled fruit, or a fresh salad. It can also be used in tacos, sandwiches, and salads.
